Do It Yourself (DIY) and syndication can co-exist and provide a platform for you to grow, learn and make money...I think its ideal as you spend the next year learning from books, BP, syndicator deals you are intentional in, etc.... 

In this scenario the owners insurance company will be dealing with your insurance company directly 

No direct experience, but what i've heard from friends is if you have to evict it's as simple as hauling their trailer out of the spot. 

I sent out my first direct mail campaign a few days ago and I made sure to include my Google voice number as the contact on the letters.

Most of the notes I deal with are already set above the current interest rate, some way above (ie 14%) so a 1-2% increase wouldn't have much impact.

I did add a high maintenance percentage to cover any direct damage.As part of the town rules there needs to be an onsite property manager.  

It's a person's choice on where they land within that code, not a governmental directive or predetermined human destiny.  

Looking for the right opportunities not only for business but, for connecting with people who are moving in the same direction as I am trying to go.I am excited to be able to network with people who are willing to help each other. 

So my husband and I have a combined $25,000 ($11,000 in mine, and about $14,000 in his) in old 401k's that I am looking to possibly use as down payments for rental properties in either a self-directed IRA or something where I have more control.

It sounds like you are headed in the right direction!
